Bird Words
by Terry Michael Riley
(Lake City, AR. USA)
The sanctuary of a back porch lounge My place of rest and contemplation Each morning I sit with contentment Enjoying the feathered serenade
The questioning coo of the mourning dove WHO - ARE - YOU - YOU - YOU? The mocking bird answers - PRETTY - PRETTY - PRETTY BIRD
All the thrush then sing in harmony Their auditions to Harry Potter
DUMBLEDORE? DUMBLEDORE? SNEAK - A PEEK! KEEP - KEEP - TRACKING - WAY - HIGH! A - OGLING LOOK YOU WILL SEE? YOU WILL SEE? O'WARBING ME!
